The next few days will have just a very slight chance of rain, so hopefully, the lawn will finally dry out where we haven’t been able to mow yet,. This morning began with clouds but now there is quite a bit a clearing. Temperatures are mild and it is quite breezy. We received a quick shower late yesterday afternoon which left 0.09″ in my gauge. It’s good to see our rain amounts diminishing from what we have had. Our 9:30…
We couldn’t have asked for a nicer weekend. Temperatures were warm, there were light winds, and low humidity. It was absolutely lovely. But then last night, more rain moved in and that seems to be what we can expect for today. There was 0.12″ in my gauge this morning and rain is in the forecast for most of the day., We should see a drying out period the remainder of the week and temperatures should be in the normal range…
We waited a long time but it’s finally happening. Summer has arrived! Not only the summer solstice, but actual summer weather. What’s even better is that the extended forecast is calling for highs in the 80s almost everyday. Looking out my window this morning, it’s a beautiful day. Yesterday was also very nice and this should continue through the weekend before our next chance of rain. Thunderstorms are in the forecast almost everyday next week but that’s usually always the…
The past two days have brought flooding rains to the state, and we are finally going to get a couple of dry days. Our total rainfall since Thursday night was 1.84″. Many areas of the state received 2-3 inches. None of the fields in this area have been touched and many have ponds standing in them. This is a tragic growing season for the farmers to be sure. We keep hoping that the rains will end but it just keeps…
It started raining yesterday afternoon and has continued through this morning. So far, we have received 1.33″ and it’s still coming down. To make matters worse, my dog, Cinnamon, has injured her back and has lost all control of her back legs. This is a common problem in dachshunds and I just don’t think that I can deal with it again. I went through this with another dog. So I may be taking her into the Vet to have her…
I can’t ever remember a period when it rains every day like it has this spring. It just won’t quit! We were supposed to have 3-4 days of dry weather this week and that has already changed to a chance of rain almost every day. We have parts of our yard that haven’t been mowed at all this year because it won’t dry up. I guess complaining won’t help but it really needs to stop. At least we got a…
Looking at the radar, it appears that most of the rain is right over my area,. Fortunately, it isn’t large so I don’t think that it will last too long. Regardless, we don’t need anymore rain. None of the farmers around here have done any planting. Most of the fields are untouched. The corn is supposed to be knee high by the fourth of July, and it isn’t even planted. I don’t recall things ever being this bad for farmers. …
It seems like my blogs are quite redundant with the same conditions almost everyday. Rain, rain, rain. I must admit that yesterday was mostly dry but there were a few drops in my gauge this morning. Most of the rain stayed to our north yesterday and I was happy for that. We have showers and possible thunderstorms in the forecast for today, and everyday going forward has the chance of rain. Will it ever end? I never did get all…
This morning is sunny and beautiful, but unfortunately, it won’t last long. More showers are in the forecast for tonight. I guess we’ll just enjoy the sun while we have it It will be breezy today so maybe that will dry it up some. Our 9 AM temperature is 57°F (14°C), the humidity is 67%, and winds are from the west at 9 mph. Skies are clear and visibility is 10 miles. The pressure is 30.01 in (1016.3 mb) and…
Most of us are wondering if summer will ever happen this year. Once again we have temperatures much below normal, and it seems that the rain will never stop. We received another quarter of an inch overnight. We’ve been having to mow the lawn about every four days and parts of the yard can’t be mowed because it won’t dry up. Many of the fields around us haven’t been touched yet and they should have been planted a month ago. …
